"We were asked to make a short statement on how Marguerite and Pond Farm influences us today. This is both easy and difficult for me. It is easy because she influences everything in my life today. How I approach my craft, what I do to make better pots, how I live my daily life. The difficult part is expressing this in a paragraph or so. I will say that for me her influence is all encompassing and I am profoundly great full."
